Sally Fallon and Geoffrey Morell
Weston A. Price Foundation
Notes
From Newsletters, Emails, and Meetings
Rita F. highly recommended
Geoffrey and Sally of The Weston
A. Price Foundation to us in 2000. Since then, multiple group
members have been to Geoffrey with benefit. More are incorporating the principles in
Sally’s nutrition and traditional diets book as part of their
treatment plans.
Sometimes we have enough of our members at WAPF
Conferences to hold our own support group session! The next
one is 11/06 at Westfields CC in
Chantilly, Virginia.
Sally Fallon, MA: Nutrition Author
& WAPF President and Treasurer
Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon, has insightful, detailed, amazing and
useful information on carbos, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, food
allergies, spices, enzymes and more with references and sources for
locating products. Its subtitle is The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats.
It is a well-researched, thought- provoking guide to traditional foods
that contains a startling message: Animal fats and cholesterol are not
villains but vital factors in the diet, necessary for normal growth,
proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from
disease and optimum energy levels. It is a great resource and one of
Elly's favorite
books. Her favorite page talks about how having low sodium can feel
like low blood sugar! Being tired and cognitively challenged much of
the time, she only used 2 recipes often: the fermented carrots and
the crispy nuts (see below). Just that change in her diet helped with
digestion. This book puts many important nourishment issues
in one place and gives you recipes and fun stories. It is worth
much more then
its $25 list price and you can find it for less!
Sally is a food activist. She is working
hard to expose problems in the food industry, increase food safety and
dispel myths based on shoddy science. WAPF's journal is called Wise
Traditions and it comes with membership in WAPF. Sally gives many
lectures and a group favority she does is based on articles by her and
Mary Enig PhD called The Oiling of America. More Fallon biographical information can be found at Life-Enthusiast.
Sally's recipes call for
fresh unprocessed foods. Here is a sample recipe with 3 ingredients of
which 2 are salt and water! People with CFS have a shot at it,
especially if they mail order the nuts and use a faucet filter so as
not to have to carry filtered water home from the store. Nuts contain
numerous enzyme inhibitors that can put a strain on digestion which
soaking and drying help. I’ve tried these at
Geoff’s and made them myself. Relatively easy. And yummier
than other nuts. Mix in some unsulphured dried fruit if tolerated.
Crispy Almonds (or
Walnuts)
4 c. raw walnut halves and pieces
2 t. sea salt, filtered water
Soak nuts in salt and
water for at least 7 hours in a warm place. (Elly and Toni say rinse
first. They might have flour on them even if label doesn't say and it
is just nicer.) Drain. Spread on stainless steal baking pans and place
in a warm oven (<150 deg) 12-24 hrs, turning occasionally until
dry and crisp. Store in air tight container (walnuts must go in the
fridge!).

Geoffrey Morell, ND, JP: Energy Work & WAPF Secretary
Geoffrey is a medical
intuitive, spiritual healer who developed a technique to cleanses aura of negativity and
pinpoint the region of disharmony in the physical body. He works to
balance the entire human system. Clients can feel like they are walking
on air afterwards. He can work at a distance with a photo and birth
date. Healing can take place as long as subject is receptive, not
persuaded.
Geoff has recommended
rebounders or mini-trampolines to help get lymph fluid moving and break
up static energy in the body Paul Cheney, MD, a CFS doctor,
has been recommending rebounders for years. Geoff brought one to the
meeting. He cautions that buying a poorly constructed product could cause harm as it is like jumping on a
rock! Note you do not have to jump to benefit. Stepping lightly or even sitting on it
while someone else gently bounces you can get the blood and lymph
moving. You don't need much time on it either - it is efficient!
He recommends one,
called the Cellerciser, by the inventor, Dave Hall. It is
$265+25 ship (balance bar is available for $60). It comes with a case,
book and video. We ordered as a group once and the shipping was waived.
The safety bar is $35. For a brochure of this brand call The Center of
Cellular Health at (800) 856-4863. 30 day trial period and refund
available. Other brands are Needak and ReboundAir. At least 3 members have done well with
brands other then the Cellercisor. Just make sure your knees and feet
aren't rolling in - the Cellercisor gives you a straight up and down
jump even if you step near the edge. Geoff brings his to the WAPF
Conferences for people to sample. Try Elly's at the MVPS/D meetings.
Geoff had some really
on target supplement suggestions for Elly, including what not to take.
She is very sensitive to Vitamin C and already knew she couldn't handle
much when he told her she must avoid it for the time being. Both Sally
and Geoff are big fans of cod liver oil and now so are Elly and Toni
since added that into our daily regiments helped!

Your Body by Louise Hay, and Why People Don’t Heal and How They
Can by
